Knapweed pruning series progress, completed earlier in May. Hand cut aluminum, powder coat. I hope to water jet cut copies to explore additional forms and possibilities this summer! #sculpturetowear #artjewelry #bracelet #newwork #knapweed #wildflower #sculpturaljewelry #snagmember #aluminum #powdercoat
I feel so lucky and thankful to have spent time at @haystack_school during this year’s open studio residency. The time, place, and people were all amazing gifts that deeply impacted my studio practice! I’ll post images of some of what I worked on, but first enjoy some moss, lichen, and other beautiful things that need absolutely no filter 😂 🌲 💚🌿 #Maine #deerisle #deerislemaine #haystackmountainschoolofcrafts #artistinresidence
Another amazing experience collaborating with @jenramirezart 💛😊 ⭐️ We made this work for @snagmetalsmith #exhibitioninmotion2019 We got pretty into the theme of gold 😂 Materials: waterjet cut and powder coated aluminum, hand sewn ribbon leaves and flowers, crochet flowers, laser cut mirrored acrylic, quilted fabric. #eim2019 #snagmember #snagconference2019 #goldenrod #gold #mixedmedia #sculpturetowear #wearablesculpture #waterjetcut #powdercoat #crochet #quilting #collaboration #teamwork
Here is a detail shot/ preview of Jen and my collaborative piece for Exhibition in Motion. I will post the final piece after the show on the 25th of May- stay tuned! 🌻✨🌼#exhibitioninmotion2019 #eim2019 #snag #snagmember #powdercoat #aluminum #fabric #mixedmedia #textiletechniques #sculpturetowear #detailshot #preview #ribbonrose #crochetrose #waterjetcutting #quilting #process #whatisit?!
Some #eim2019 process shots as Jen Ramirez and I keep plugging away at our Exhibition in Motion piece. It is really really gold 🤩🌼✨with sparkles mixed into our saffron yellow and gold powder coat, and metallic fabrics! Stay tuned! #wip #studio #exhibitioninmotion #exhibitioninmotion2019 #gold #powdercoat #sculpturetowear #artjewelry #ribbonflowers #waterjetcut #alumium #fabric #wip #workinprogress #process #snagmember
Friends don’t let friends make boring powder coating color choices!!! Thank you Jen Ramirez for all your help with this giant piece!!! I am so excited for this new work 😊🌸This Knapweed collar is waterjet cut in 16 g aluminum, powder coated with copper patina and neon pink from @powderbuythepound #newwork #sculpturetowear #artjewelry #wearart #waterjetcut #aluminum #powdercoat #knapweed #wildflowers #wearableart #contemporaryartjewelry #snagmember
The past two days of water jet cutting at @cwruthinkbox have been a blast!!! I have learned a ton with everyone’s help there, and can’t wait to go back! Now for filing, sanding, forming... stay tuned! Both pieces are 48” long, the first is a goldenrod, second are plants in a beech maple forest #wip #workinprogress #goldenrod #fieldtoforest #aluminum #waterjetcutting #searsthinkbox #thinkbox #cwruthinkbox #metalsmith #snagmember #newwork
Water jet cutting this CAD file for Jen and my #eim2019 piece! Getting ideas for it to become a new piece just on its own if I cut 2! hmmm 🤔 😊 #wip #rhino #vectordrawing #sculpturetowear #cad #goldenrod #wildflowers #staytuned
So much progress working with Jen Ramirez on our #eim2019 piece! We sewed, stuffed, quilted, and stitched shut 68 soft gold pieces that will be sandwiched between the top and bottom main pieces of our #snagconference2019 Exhibition in Motion piece! Zebby, Jen’s dog in photo 2, was such a good studio dog and somehow resisted chomping down on essentially a room full of stuffed dog toys 😂 #wip #progressshots #howitsmade #quilting #snagmember #exhibitioninmotion #gold #fabric #sculpturetowear #wearableart #staytuned
